During the ''Fuel Economic Ship Route Optimization'' project, funded by grant No. 1243/90-0005 from the Danish Ministry of Energy, three valuable software modules have been successfully developed. The development of these modules constitutes a significant step towards reduction of fuel consumption for ships: shallow water effects can be predicted, as water depth information can now be stored and used efficiently, the ship's fuel consumption can now be predicted, as a model for the interaction of the hull-propeller-engine and surroundings is now available; and the stochastic nature of weather forecasts can now be handled, as a routine for speed optimization with safety margins have been developed. The three developed software modules will be included in the advanced route planning and optimization systems, which is currently being developed at Danish Maritime Institute. This system will provide the ship's officers with powerful decision support for route planning. Using this system, the officer of the watch will be able to make a route plan with minimal fuel consumption while maintaining suitable safety margins.
